Love Between Fairy and Devil 苍兰诀 (2022) ep. 18 / 26 / 28 - are you okay?

[wildestlve]

THIS is the scene that convinced me that I was going to love this particular Sang Yan.

and I find it so fascinating we see this sort of protective-scary-streak come out with the the other Sang Yan when Sang Zhis being bullied.

But this Sang Yan is more deeper and mote intense and he cares and oh how he still cares

I was just "lightly" going off in the tags of a gorgeous gif set about how much I love Sang Yan's bravery, but I have more to say that can't be contained in the tags. I still don't know if I can fully express my thoughts and feelings about this masterpiece of a show, but something that I can at least articulate is why I love Sang Yan as a character so much. To me, he truly is the most perfect example of "Do It Scared". This boy has never gotten over the heartbreak he suffered that fateful night in the rain in Beiyu. He has never let go of the girl he was in love with. Never, not in all these many years. And we see it in everything he does. Everything. In every terrible excuse of nonchalance or contrived situation of incredible kindness. In every step he takes towards her instead of back for his self preservation. Every instance of him trying to be cool, only for it to be so blatantly obvious he is expressing his care. Maybe in a tentative way, but boy is scared. It's obvious in the way he is still the quiet, serious boy he was back then, but he still moves in with her after losing his home. He doesn't run after her, but he buys extra food and furniture and makes their home cozy and kind and safe for her. We see it in the way he has never gotten close to another girl. In how it's mentioned more than once that his best friends never get close enough to know him intimately. But he lets her see him vulnerable in bits and pieces, and he gets to see her in return. We see it in the entire existence of Overtime as a concept, especially now that we know it was her dream to have this safe space to unwind. It's in the way he quietly and vulnerably entreats her sleeping self to reach out a hand first - to reach out more obviously - because he doesn't know if he can put himself out there again to be hurt because he is still nursing those years old wounds. And yet, in spite of his fear, we see he still buys the ticket to see her in Beiyu before she is finally brave for him. Once again offering her his heart. He loved her years ago, and has loved her all along, quietly and removed, with no pressure of reciprocation. For better or worse, fear or not, he is the epitome of someone who loves and loves and loves.

Rewatch3d this

Nothing in the last few years of cdramas will ever be as jaw droppingly glorious as Ling Buyi’s “father’s” party which can be summed up as:

Dad: what did you bring me for my birthday present, son?

Ling Buyi: wholesale family annihilation, UNCLE!

If Hamlet was half as decisive and bloodthirsty, the play would have a happy ending and be about 30 minutes long.
